How to get	Crafted by Kaziir the Armoursmith in The Dunes

Silver Body Armor is a high-tier armor piece that protects your torso and reduces the damage you take. It is the second piece in the Silver armor set and requires Combat 25 to equip.

All armor is crafted by Kaziir the Armoursmith in The Dunes through Smithing and uses ingots plus desert materials from Emberstone.

How to get

Craft at Kaziir the Armoursmith's house in The Dunes. Grimjaw's anvil in Frostmere and Harun the Forgewright's forge in Dunes West handle repairs only — Kaziir sells plate, he does not take it back.

Requirement	Details
Smithing level	30
Combat to wear	25
Ingredients	100 Silver Ingot + 80 Molten Rock + 25 Brute Horn
Crafting time	~30 seconds (25-second cooldown between crafts)
Durability	2,500 uses

Stats

Stat	Value
Damage reduction	6%
Durability per hit	1 point per hit taken
Repair cost	60% of the full forging cost (ingots, Molten Rock and Brute Horn), scaled by durability loss (minimum 1 of each material)

Damage Reduction

Silver Body Armor reduces the damage you take from mobs by 6% — the largest reduction of any single armor piece in the game. Armor no longer widens the shield pool; it reduces damage instead:

• **Shield pool:** fixed at 100 points regardless of armor; restore it with Shield Potions
• **Full Silver set:** 15% damage reduction (4 pieces)
• **Full Iron set:** 10% damage reduction (4 pieces — comparison)

Wearing no armor at all is risky: King Scorpia, the Venomweaver cave hazards, Giant Scorpions and Magma Brutes all deal 1.5× damage to unarmored players. Wearing any armor piece removes that penalty and applies your damage reduction instead.

Armor Set

Silver Body Armor is one of four armor slots in the Silver tier:

Piece	Smithing req	Damage reduction	Cost
Silver Helmet	24	3%	80 silver ingot + 60 molten rock + 15 brute horn
Silver Body Armor	30	6%	100 silver ingot + 80 molten rock + 25 brute horn
Silver Legguards	28	4.5%	75 silver ingot + 70 molten rock + 25 brute horn
Silver Boots	26	1.5%	40 silver ingot + 20 molten rock + 10 brute horn

Wearing multiple pieces adds their reductions. A full Silver set (all 4 pieces) gives 15% damage reduction total — 1.5× the protection of a full Iron set.

Durability & Repair

Silver Body Armor has 2,500 durability. Every hit you take (while wearing it) costs 1 durability point. A full Silver set (4 pieces) wears 4 times as fast in wall-clock terms since all pieces lose durability simultaneously.

Repair at Grimjaw in Frostmere or Harun the Forgewright in Dunes West:

• **Repair cost:** 60% of the full forging bill (ingots, Molten Rock and Brute Horn), scaled to durability lost, each material rounded up (minimum 1 per repair)
• **Example:** At 50% durability loss, repair costs about 30 silver ingots + 24 Molten Rock + 8 Brute Horns

Trading & Marketplace

Silver Body Armor can only be sold or traded when **undamaged** (100% durability):

• Damaged pieces cannot be listed on the marketplace
• Damaged pieces cannot be player-traded
• Repair first at any blacksmith (Grimjaw or Harun), then it lists as new
• Undamaged pieces are valuable and fully tradeable

Silver Body Armor is the most expensive piece to craft in the Silver set, making it a serious investment.

Armor Tiers

Silver is the highest armor tier. Comparison to Iron:

Tier	Pieces	Damage reduction (full set)	Combat req	Smithing req (body)
Iron	Head, body, legs, feet	10%	15	20
Silver	Head, body, legs, feet	15%	25	30

Silver armor gives 1.5× the damage reduction but requires significantly higher progression — Mining 20 to gather Silver Ore, and Smithing 30 to craft the body piece (highest requirement for any armor).

Crafting Materials

Material	Amount	Source
Silver Ingot	100	Smelt 4 Silver Ore + 8 Coal per ingot at any furnace (requires Mining 20)
Molten Rock	80	Fish at Emberstone lava pits (common drop)
Brute Horn	25	Kill Magma Brute at Emberstone (1 in 5 drop rate)

Silver Body Armor requires substantial farming — the most ingots of any Silver armor piece, making it the final and most expensive piece most players craft.

Progression Gate

To craft Silver Body Armor, you must reach Mining 20 to gather Silver Ore and Smithing 30:

Milestone	Details
Mining 5	Unlock Iron Ore gathering
Mining 20	Unlock Silver Ore gathering (Frostmere and Dunes West)
Smithing 30	Craft Silver Body Armor (highest Smithing requirement for armor)

Silver Body Armor represents true end-game progression — a serious multi-hour farming commitment reserved for dedicated players.

Combat Considerations

Scenario	Details
Damage reduction	Reduces incoming mob damage by 6% (15% with the full Silver set)
Unarmored penalty	With no armor worn at all, King Scorpia, Venomweaver cave hazards, Giant Scorpions and Magma Brutes deal 1.5× damage
Heat immunity	Does NOT protect from The Dunes heat (bypasses shield)
Stun resistance	Armor alone does not reduce stun duration
Durability drain	Full set (4 pieces) drains durability 4× faster than individual pieces
PvP readiness	Silver Body Armor is part of the complete end-game PvP loadout
Relics	Qadim the Relicweaver can weave a Relic onto this piece, worn or carried
